Introduction: Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) have been gaining worldwide popularity for several years now, making vaping a major alternative to regular tobacco smoking.
Aim: There is still a lack of data on the occurrence of dermatological diseases due to e-cigarettes, so the research was performed.
Methods: A systematic review of the literature was performed in Embase and Medline databases.
Article Synopsis
- Androgenetic alopecia is the most common type of hair loss in men, affecting not only older individuals but also young adults, and causing psychological issues.
- In the study, 92 men aged 20 to 50 were divided into three groups using different treatments: microneedling alone, microneedling with minoxidil, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy.
- All groups showed improved hair number and density, but only the PRP group had a significant increase in hair shaft thickness, indicating varying effectiveness of the treatments.
Introduction: The role of calprotectin in psoriasis still remains unclear.
Aim: To elucidate the associations between the concentrations of serum and faecal calprotectin (CP) and the severity of psoriasis in 20 patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis and 20 healthy individuals.
Material And Methods: The CP levels as well as the disease severity including Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI), Body Surface Area (BSA) score and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) were assessed.
Objectives: Vulvar lichen sclerosus (VLS) is a chronic inflammatory condition involving mainly the genital area with an undetermined aetiology. Recent studies show that in up to 34% of cases in adult women, VLS coexists with allergies or autoimmune diseases like celiac disease (CD), among others. However, literature data relating strictly to the co-occurrence of celiac disease and Duhring's disease (DH) in patients with VLS are very limited.

Aim: The primary objective of the current research was to explore the impact of gut microbiome composition on the progression and severity of plaque psoriasis.
Material And Methods: A total of 20 patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis and 20 healthy individuals were recruited and provided a stool sample to assess the gut microbiome.
